You were quite willing to accept Shaprio's word for everything because you already agreed with him. Open you eyes and look at the other side (the one that doesn't make wild assumptions) and see how that goes.
Sorry...I almost got through that with a straight face! We all know you'll just ignore them and then just make up something.
All he is doing is trying to redefine what a radical means . Radical as defined by Shapiro is doing anything that a western civilization would seem inappropriate. Channel 4 guy is trying to say that because of 9-11 truthers are also non Muslim that you can not Count that.... Which is irrelevant to the fact that people in these countries believe it.
Quote:The reference to the cartoonists come from this 2006 NOP poll for Channel 4, in which 78 per cent of British Muslims thought that the publishers of Danish cartoons of the Islamic Prophet should be prosecuted.
Note that the word was “prosecuted” not beheaded. This appeared to indicate a wider belief among British Muslims that free speech should be curbed if it offends religious groups. Again – controversial, but not necessarily proof of “radicalisation”.
^^* prosecuted for this would be an example of supporting sharia law. Which makes them radical.
Quote:In any event, the way people say they feel about bin Laden and terrorism in these polls is often contradicted by their responses to other questions.
^^^^ irrelevant since Shapiro is only using the pew info as provided. He isn't making it up or using other polls to muddy the data.
Later channel 4 guy shows his stripes and starts bringing in other polls to refute. Which is fine but that doesn't make shapiro's use of only pew polls wrong either. No problem trying to refute with other polls. But Shapiro stuck to his data and stayed consistent .
If he had manipulate the pew data I am sure they would have spoken out about it by now. He is easily one of more outspoken conservatives out there... Which is why he is one of the few willing to do something like this video.
